I dunno who reads the shoutbox or the news posts (half the time it's the same ol' ****, right?), so I'm just going to post this here.
If anyone is going to post campaigns to Hades-Combine in the future, make sure they're submitted properly, retail campaigns and classic campaigns go to their appropriately marked categories. It's hard as **** trying to tell which campaigns are SCP and which ones aren't so I can move 'em to the right categories.
I suppose that's all, just a simple reminder.
Thanks.

I'd like to remind you this is HLP and not HC. If you want ppl on HC to post correctly, post this, there.

And I'd like to remind you that the forums are essentially dead and the only ones who register there are spambots. More people read THIS forum than Hades-Combine's.
Don't want to sound like a total ass, but did you think before posting that? :P
-
It'd probably better serve to put this notice wherever you submit your files to HC.

That's a good idea.

Yes i did. Sounded good at the time. Did not know HC was dryspelled, and i know HLP is #1. But i tried to make a smartass comment. On that note..
*SNIP* LA MISCOMMUNICATIONA! Vi va la resistance!

:wtf: You don't make any sense.
And you don't HAVE to register to view the freaking forums. I've been there without being logged in.
Ugh. I try to post a ****ing reminder and this is what I get? People jump down my throat because I don't post in a dead forum?
-
Actually considering that I've told a whole bunch of people that stuff from the Restoration Project should be on HC I've got no problem with a reminder.
Although this notice should probably be in that forum.
-
Duh, you're right, someone move this.
-
Could you provide some information on posting either here or on Hades combine?
How do I post a campaign that's greater than 2 meg?
-
You can always upload to FileFront (http://www.filefront.com/) and post a link to that.

Whuh? The upload limit is 2 MB?

I read somewhere that the Upload limit was 2 meg and it would not let me upload a file that was 2.19 meg.
-
Weird. That's the first I've ever heard of that happening.

Pick one (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_one-click_hosters)...

You ask nicely and you get an ftp account to upload stuff. The limit is due to the server configuration.
-
...Or you get your own (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,45981.0.html).
Then, post the link... but of course, if the service goes kaput, so do your files... so asking nicely is prolly safer.
-
Exactly. Once a campaign is finished it should be uploaded to HC so that the issue of it suddenly disappearing is less of a problem. (We ought to also have another large community site as a mirror too).
-
Yes the upload limit is unfortunately, a meager 2 megs, ive tried to contact Hc's service provider about upgrading that, but i would have to pay 8 times what i already pay a year, just to have that number changed and nothing else.
Good news is, as soon as i can intergrate an FTP uploader into the portal all of our problems will be solved as the 2 meg limit is only for php uploads.
But yes, larger files in the mean time will have to be hosted on filefront or such then re-uploaded to HC by an admin with an ftp client.
-
8 times?! Good lord.
-
Why can't I use FireFTP or another FTP client, and my user & password?

Uh, regular members don't get FTP access? :wtf:
-
Oh... but what's the difference between PHP upload & FTP upload? Same goal, same result... does it allow you to muck with something you're not supposed to?

Yes, the FTP has all the site files. Opening up the FTP like that can open up the site to hackers, which is why I propose a PM deal, when it's integrated, one has to PM the site administrator for the password or something like that.
-
Ah, I was suspecting something like that. You can't have different levels of user access? ie, only admin passwords are accepted to modify site files' location, the rest can only modify campaign / mission / etc upload directories?
-
Don't think so.
-
Don't think so.
Depends on your webserver. You SHOULD be able to set up an anonymous FTP service where users can upload files only to a specific directory. Admins could then move them to the appropriate location. Most professional webservers have this functionality. If you guys are managing your own FTP server, you can set this up yourselves quite easily by group access accounts.
-
I really should pay more attention to this. I'm not sure about anonymous access, although it's probably possible, but restrictions to directories are certainly possible and there's already something that can move the files to the right place and add them to the database. That's been ready for a while now.
It would be interesting to tie it into site user accounts though but I don't think we have the access to do that.
